Popular Neighborhoods in Charlotte, NC

Uptown

As the Queen City’s primary commercial and financial district, Uptown bustles with workaday activity from 9 to 5. Once off the clock, the area truly comes alive: from concerts and shows to ballgames and fine dining, Uptown is where the action is.

Elizabeth

Home to many historic buildings which harken back to the city’s early days, Elizabeth remains a sought after central Charlotte enclave to this day, owing to its proximity to Uptown, high marks for walkability, and access to the expansive greenery of Independence Park.

Plaza-Midwood

You never know what’s in store in Plaza Midwood, considered one of Charlotte’s most eclectic and entertaining neighborhoods. Its quaint and quirky residential bungalows are home to young families who adore the area’s many funky shops, restaurants, and art galleries.

NoDa

Situated approximately one mile northeast of Uptown, NoDa — as in, North Davidson — is Charlotte’s primary arts and entertainment district, with a bevy of hip bars, farm-to-table restaurants, and craft beer destinations.

Myers Park

Live in the lap of luxury in Myers Park, an upscale and affluent neighborhood widely considered Charlotte’s best. Drive down Selwyn Avenue and it’s not hard to see why: from the jaw-dropping mansions to its idyllic walking paths shaded by towering oak trees.

Fourth Ward

Past meets present in historic Fourth Ward, a friendly and unpretentious neighborhood where Victorian style homes that date back more than a century share sidewalks with new apartments, trendy bars, and some of the city’s best restaurants.

A historic Charlotte neighborhood just minutes from Uptown, Dilworth today is one of the city’s hottest neighborhoods, thanks to its charming bungalows with wide porches, sidewalks shaded by leafy oaks, and access to the shops and restaurants along East Boulevard.

Barclay Downs

A well-to-do neighborhood situated just south of Uptown, Barclay Downs is home to many families who appreciate its lovely streets, stylish split-level and ranch style homes, and convenient access to both city center and the SouthPark shopping center.

The master-planned community of Ballantyne, located about 15 miles south of Charlotte near the South Carolina border, has only existed for a couple of decades, but in that time has quickly become one of Charlotte’s most affluent and sought after neighborhoods.
